Arkamin is a brand name for a medication called clonidine hydrochloride. It belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-2 agonists and is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Clonidine works by stimulating alpha-2 receptors in the brain, which reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. This leads to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, which helps to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications associated with hypertension.
